Process Mining Integration

New for v8, Process Mining provides the ability to discover processes, pinpoint problems, and oversee optimizations. Available only to Enterprise-level customers.

Multi-Tenancy

For Enterprise-level customers v8 sees the return of Multi-Tenancy, an architecture in which a Control Instance of a software application serves multiple Tenant Instances, as well as the advent of simplified local machine installation via the Multi-Tenancy Provisioning tool, as well as the ability to integrate Active Directory with Multi-Tenancy. Customers interested in upgrading can refer to Multi-Tenancy: Upgrading a v6 Environment to v8.

With the Docker module, Enterprise-level users of v8 can now use Containers. Containers use the Docker module to allow users to run an application regardless of the native environment of the application.
